[LARTC] Bandwith management through mac address

Hello, I am running linux red hat 7.2 and still somewhat unfamiliar to its 
commands.  I am administrator to an ISP with about 80 clients and would like 
to regulate the speed of uploads and downloads.  I understand that I need to 
place everybody in different class'.  Could I get help how to use tc/QBC to 
limit bandwith and impliment a u32 (or fwmark) filter that names mac 
address's as the source. Please be specific because I am not very fluent in 
the laguage yet.  

Thank you
       Luke

First of all, make sure you understand tc.  I mean, try to understand how you 
can create a CBQ/HTB setup and how you can filter the traffic.  You can start 
by reading the lartc howto and visiting www.docum.org
After that, try it out.  Create a CBQ/HTB setup and see what happens.
And if you can't create the setup you want, mail the to the lartc mailing 
list the questions you have.
The mac address filtering can be easy if the mac addresses are fixed.

Good luck.
And use the force of tc, Luke :)

Why is that?
What sort of regulation do you need?
Perhaps sfq is what you want?
(Or perhaps the oft proposed version that uses only source address?)
